It was only after she suffered a head injury that she decided to give art a try.She came to Creative Diversity Studio in Louisville, which gives artists with disabilities the chance to create and sell their work."The art stands for itself, regardless of disabilities they have ability," said Amy Marlatt, founder of the studio. "And it allows them to exchange ideas and encourages them and gives them self-esteem."For Lang, injuring the left side of her brain made the right side work harder, which led her to art."Your right side of your brain is your creative side, so my creativity was brought on by my head injury," Lang said. "Something good comes out of everything."Creating has become therapeutic for Lang, and she believes it’s what she’s meant to do. "It’s like that man upstairs just told me I had to slow down," she said. "Stop and smell the roses or, do the art."

She came to Creative Diversity Studio in Louisville, which gives artists with disabilities the chance to create and sell their work.

"The art stands for itself, regardless of disabilities they have ability," said Amy Marlatt, founder of the studio. "And it allows them to exchange ideas and encourages them and gives them self-esteem."

For Lang, injuring the left side of her brain made the right side work harder, which led her to art.

"Your right side of your brain is your creative side, so my creativity was brought on by my head injury," Lang said. "Something good comes out of everything."

Creating has become therapeutic for Lang, and she believes it’s what she’s meant to do.

"It’s like that man upstairs just told me I had to slow down," she said. "Stop and smell the roses or, do the art."
